Teheran shelled as Braves fall to Cubs, 8-3
Julio Teheran was bad on this particular evening, as the Cubs offense made easy work of the veteran right-hander. As part of the onslaught, Willson Contreras flared tempers by being extra boisterous about his home run in the second inning, which brought both dugouts and bullpens onto the field. The whole situation was ridiculous, but then again the Cubs organization backed John Lackey and his stupid antics for two years, so seeing Contreras act like a buffoon is hardly surprising. Good thing a fan didn’t interfere, or the entire city would have to gather and blow up the ball for good luck while simultaneously ruining said fan’s entire life. Anyway, the Braves got smoked and have three chances to make up for it this week.

A lot of these guys are about to go through a pretty serious transition in their careers, and I want to help prepare them for that.”
